"Grizzly Man leaves it up to you to deside wither Timothy Treadwell was an Animal activist or a madman.".

Werner Herzog (Documentarian) saw a gold mine in animal enthusiast Timothy Treadwell; with countless hours of unbelievable moments captured on film his trials and tribulations were shown to the world Unpresidented. Herzog Began by exposing him as disillusioned and mentally unstable. Treadwell's death not only Violently gruesome but poetic to his lifestyle. After years of spending 'too close for comfort' moments alongside Dangerous wildlife, Treadwell developed an unhealthy fixation of Hysteria believing he could domesticate Bears.

I too love wildlife and dream about what it might actually be like to live among the world's most endangered and misunderstood creatures. Although Treadwells heart was always in the right place, it was clear his isolation did a number on his mental state. Normally i'd agree and support a person's work to protect animals- But in Treadwell's case he caused more damage then good by disarming wildlife animals to trust other Humans-Humans who are poachers and have horrific motives. And illegally medelling with protected areas by disobeying Alaskan laws.
